Myrtle worked many jobs from installing radios in AT-10 planes during World War II to being on the line at Sunshine Biscuit Company. She was a nurse most of her adult life, officially retiring at the age of 85. She fiercely loved her family and found much purpose in taking care of her family's needs.
Working in her yard, from raking leaves and planting flowers to cursing squirrels for stealing her pecans were among her favorite hobbies.
